there's no such thing as overcharging... the laptop would cut off power to the battery once it's fully charged...

honestly i never trust those system monitoring programs from the makers themselves...
more often than not, they are overly simple and dun provide much useful data... u'll be surprise when u use third party programs like HWMonitor and BatteryCare... this one's from my 1.5yr old laptop... 
yup, only 1% wear after 18 mths of using... this is the result of removing the battery religiously whenever i use AC power... 4hrs is not a big problem when i am on Asus Power4Gear Battery Saving Mode... with C2D T9550 and HD4650... This post has been edited by astria: Nov 18 2010, 09:14 PM |

QUOTE(Quantum_thinking @ Nov 22 2010, 10:36 PM) Yeah. ur friend should use Ctrl+S instead...My friend just msn me that his laptop suddenly restarts and his work is lost completely since he did not save it when typing it into the wordpad. The Microsoft Office can recover our documents in case there is a electic trip? Added on November 23, 2010, 1:48 am QUOTE(CANONPIXMA @ Nov 22 2010, 09:39 PM) i rather have my battery spoil rather than having to redo all my work if there's any sudden electric trip.. i think the battery wont overcharge.. i have a spare battery for my laptop which i seldom use an they both now have almost the same capacity of storing the charge which will run my laptop not more than 45minutes. yes, it won't overcharge, rather it's the heat from other hardware (CPU, GPU, etc) that will kill the cells...This post has been edited by astria: Nov 23 2010, 01:48 AM |
